The Concretes combine ‘50s-style vocals with rock guitar on this adorable track, which was released on their 2004 self-titled album. This is not a cover of the Supremes’ monster hit.

A friend of mine found this song on iTunes and played it for me. Curiously left off of the band’s debut, Hot Fuss, this track’s wonderful melody, fine arrangement and clever lyrics, puts it among the best of the group’s work. It was released as a B-side on the single for “Mr. Brightside.”

Originally released on the 1985 album The Head On The Door, this quirky track is definitely Cure-sounding, but the arrangement is a change of pace from the many singles that made the band famous. I first heard it during the mediocre James Van Der Beek vehicle “The Rules of Attraction” – it turned out to be the best thing in the movie and has since grown into the role of my “favorite Cure song.”
